Summary
How do you develop resilience?
It’s true that it takes grit to accomplish your goals, learn better, and achieve more, but what if you think you don’t have what it takes?
On today’s show, we welcome our extraordinary guest, Joe De Sena. Joe is a New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and founder and CEO of Spartan races.
In this episode, Joe trumps the myth that mental toughness is a thing you have or you don’t. Like the millions of people who have completed the Spartan races, from kids to green berets, Joe shares that resilience is a muscle built by doing something physical. He insists that doing hard things is as simple as putting one foot in front of the other, and we are all much stronger than we think.
